Test Roll & Subgrade Stripping Inspections are essential steps in evaluating the readiness of subgrade materials for construction. These processes help ensure that the subgrade can support the intended loads and meet project specifications. At Geotechnical Consulting & Testing Services, we provide thorough inspections to guarantee the stability and quality of the foundation for your construction projects.
Test Roll: This procedure involves driving heavy equipment, such as a loaded truck, over the prepared subgrade to observe for deflections or instability. It helps identify areas of weak or inadequately compacted soil that require correction before construction proceeds.
Subgrade Stripping Inspections: This involves assessing the removal of unsuitable materials like topsoil, vegetation, or organic matter from the subgrade. Proper stripping ensures that the subgrade provides a stable and uniform base for construction.
These inspections are critical to the success of construction projects for several reasons. Confirms that the subgrade can support structural and traffic loads without failure. Identifies and mitigates weak points to avoid settlement, cracks, or instability. Ensures a uniform and compact subgrade, reducing the risk of uneven construction or material wastage. Meets engineering and construction standards for safety and quality.

Earthworks and compaction testing ensure that the soil used in construction is properly compacted and stable to support the intended structures. These tests verify that the soil meets design specifications, reducing the risk of settlement, structural instability, or failure.
Common methods include the nuclear density test, sand cone test, and Proctor test. These tests measure soil density, moisture content, and compaction levels to ensure compliance with project requirements and safety standards.
Compaction testing is critical to achieving a stable foundation. Properly compacted soil prevents uneven settling, enhances load-bearing capacity, and ensures long-term stability and safety for structures like roads, buildings, and retaining walls.
